TARA MILL hasn’t raced since finishing third behind a subsequent winner at Navan back in March. He’s switched to Sam England’s yard subsequently but looks the one to beat on these terms, despite an absence, if running anywhere near his mark. Minella Trump is penalised for making a winning debut over hurdles here last month and the runner-up Masters Apprentice runs earlier on the card while Do Not Disturb also won on his hurdling bow when successful at Kelso in October, though on faster ground than this. Milvale should be sharper for a recent comeback and looks best of the rest.
